Sun Fire X2250 Server - Power Calculator

Sun Fire X2250 Server - Power Calculator

The Sun Fire X2250 Server is economical to operate. Featuring the 50W Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor 5400 series, each processor dissipates 50W (maximum). That is only 12.5W per core and 35% lower than standard 80W parts (or 60% lower than 120W parts). These capabilities add up to higher performance, lower power consumption, and better energy efficiency, making the Sun Fire X2250 Server ideal for highly dense, power-sensitive environment.

The intent of the power calculator is to provide guidance for estimating the electrical and heat loads for typical operating conditions. It should not be used to calculate power or HVAC requirements. Instead, please use the appropriate site planning guide to allow for proper allowances.

You MUST allow electrical and cooling headroom for unforeseen circumstances, component upgrades, and increased computational loads. Please allow for worst-case power conditions. Actual power consumption will vary from the sample workload used in the power calculator. These include, but are not limited to, the factors below. Each of these factors may cause significant differences in power consumption:

  • Actual workload and its fluctuations
  • Ambient temperature
  • Cooling patterns
  • Excessive inlet temperature
  • Humidity
  • Operating systems features
  • Power management settings

The "Sample Power" results shown below (if using 100% workload) represent Server power consumption measurements with CPUs at 100% utilization running SPECjbb2005. HPC workloads may consume more power than the commercial workload used in this calculator. If shown for this calculator, the "Active Idle Power" results below represent power consumption measurements taken from Servers with Operating Systems booted and stabilized, yet running at minimal utilization. Sample results shown are representative of measurements taken with room temperatures below 25°C. System power can vary depending upon Hardware/Software configurations and environmental conditions. For precise results, actual measurements based upon the exact Hardware/Software/Environmental conditions are recommended.

Configure your Sun Fire X2250 Server system and calculate your Sun server total power consumption!
